Dead or Alive 5 plus will be launched in the UK in March 22, 2013 just two days after Japanese release.

Original the PlayStation Vita port was only dated for Japan will include a Vita-exclusive first-person fighting mode and additional touch-screen controls, allowing players to pull off moves and combos via swipes and taps.

The developer is still eager to achieve the parity with the Xbox and Playstation version of the game.

"It's still in the development phase," DOA5 Plus producer Yosuke Hayashi told Famitsu (via SGCafe.com), "but right now the current build we have runs at almost 60 frames per second.

"We do not want the Vita port be seen by players as being inferior to the console versions, so we want to keep the game's high-quality visuals and have it run silky smooth."

Dead or Alive 5 Plus for the PlayStation Vita is scheduled to be released in Japan March 20, 2013. “At that time, hopefully we’ll be able to hold another tournament similar to this one,” Hayashi said.
